How Do You Make A Roux From Scratch?
To make a roux from scratch, start by melting butter in a pan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in an equal amount of flour until a smooth paste forms. Continue to stir and cook the roux for 2-3 minutes, or until it turns a light brown color. The longer it cooks, the darker the roux will become. The roux can now be used as a base for sauces, gravies, and soups.
